EXCLUSIVE: Deadpool Counts His Winnings on "AvX" Hastings Variant

In a follow-up to its specially-commissioned variant cover for "Avengers Vs. X-Men" #1 featuring Deadpool taking bets from some of Marvel's biggest villains on who will win the Marvel Universe-altering altercation, Hastings Entertainment is book-ending the series with a second 'chapter.' The "AvX" #12 variant, illustrated by Carlo Barberi, once again features the Merc with a Mouth front and center, this time counting his winnings as the various bad guys who were seen placing their bets on the fist issue's cover lay strewn behind him.

Check out CBR's exclusive first look at the cover -- and the first issue's variant -- below.

"Avengers Vs. X-Men" #12 hits stores on October 3, with the Deadpool variant available only through Hastings.
